lifelong learning institute - fall 2021

“I was surprised to learn how many sculptures Mason City owns and the number of sculptures that are on loan from various artists from around the country. In all there are currently something like a total of 70+ sculptures on display in the downtown area.” Leah

“The River City Sculptures On Parade walking tour offered by Lifelong Learning exemplifies the very best of NIACC’s approach to learning. It celebrates the richness of culture within our community; the lecturer on the tour was exceptionally well prepared and informed and shared history and detail about each sculpture that enhanced the art. To top it off, it is simply fun to stroll about Mason City and get culture and exercise in one shot! A big thank you to Lifelong Learning for offering this course and expanding our appreciation of the arts.” Jackie

“It was a very enjoyable tour. The detail on the sculptures by the artists is amazing. It was hard to pick a favorite but “Sundays with Jessie” was special. A little boy and his dog sharing an ice cream cone. Thanks for the tour and now I want to see the other half.” Ramona

“LLI Zoom classes added zest to my life during my stay-at-home time! “ Carolyn Price “LLI’s classes on Zoom have opened a wonderful portal out of the house to bring the world of ideas and the richness of human connections into our homes while we isolate for public safety. Kudo’s to the Lifelong Learn-ing Institute for making the classes so accessible and convenient.” Jackie Armstrong from Cover Photo

As we transition to a new semester where we practice safe procedures, I am excited to offer classes once more where we can open up our doors to full capacity. While we were operating under COVID-19 public health department guidelines to ensure the safety of all our members in the past, I did hear how much many of you missed getting together in the classroom. I know that this fall, we will be able to do just that!

The fall line-up of classes include both in-person and online options to accommodate both instructors as well as members. I am thrilled to welcome new faculty to join our growing NIACC LLI faculty family. Please take the opportunity to take one of their classes. Lifelong learning is about trying something new, and challenging ourselves to expand our horizons—whether it includes learning a new language, a new culture, a new style of cooking, or a new class in history or religion.

So, please tell a friend or two, or a new neighbor, and invite them to the kickoff coffee! I hope to see you there!

Let’s have a great fall semester!

IS THERE RACISM IN IOWA?Instructor: Pat SchultzDates: Wednesdays, September 8 & 15Time: 3:00pm – 5:00pmLocation: BC200Course#: 9999Recently, a member of the Iowa legislature claimed, “There is no racism in Iowa.” Of course, that raises curiosity: Is that true? What about in the past? Has racism really had any impact on Iowans? These questions inspired your instructor to dig deeper into the research on this subject. While the presentation will cover examples of racism, it will also cover positive actions taken in the state. For example, not long after the Civil War, the Iowa Supreme Court held that segregated schools were inherently unequal because “the law makes no distinction as to the right of children … to atten t e ommon s oo s. is appene 8 years before such a decision was made at the national level. With the development of Black Lives Matter and issues of racism in the forefront, this two-session class will present the history and give participants a chance to discuss what they learn. This course is not about blaming, but about learning more about the history of our state and how the history impacts us today.

From that point on, Adam’s love for technology eventually brought him into television weather where he was a meteorologist at KIMT for over 15 years. Part of his love for weather was how the weather is always changing and how there was always something new to learn.One could say that technology is changing as fast if not faster than the weather. That is why in the mid 1990s Adam started up his Internet business that has now become WebWise Solutions. WebWise Solutions is an Internet business out of Mason City that does website design and hosting, text message and email marketing, app development and almost anything on the Internet.

Are you tired of hamburgers and steak? Can you not look at another French fry? Are you desperate to try something new? What about Russian food? Have you ever tried something as exotic-sounding as borshch, bliny, or pirozhki? While Italian and French cuisine rank high among culinary aficionados, Russian food is often relegated to the bottom of the list, with a wide-ranging perception that it consists of such bland choices as cabbage, beats, meat, and vodka. Although this is partly true, the variety of Russian food may surprise you! This course serves as an introduction to the traditional foods that Russians eat and explores the role that various dishes play in Russian culture. In four lessons, we will read about & discuss the most popular Russian foods, and also cook some of the more traditional dishes. When you are finished with this course, you will be able to host a Russian night for your "foodie" friends! All supplies included!
